We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Landlord and trade work in Byram

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Byram, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Byram

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Byram. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

Common questions in Byram

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you come to Byram?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Byram and the rest of Wakefield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
